Volvo with 2.7 million miles cruises into West Michigan

Chronicle News Service/Delbridge Langdon Jr.Irv Gordon, of New York, shows off his 1966 Volvo, which boasts nearly 2.7 million miles.

When is enough, enough?

Don't ask Irv Gordon, who boasts the world's longest-running passenger car, a 42-year-old Volvo closing in on 2.7 million miles.

Gordon's car is touted by the Guinness Book of World Records as the vehicle with the "highest certified mileage driven by the original owner in non-commercial service."

And he's in West Michigan this week drawing attention to his 1966 Volvo P1800 and Volvos in general. Friday, he visited Betten Imports at 5901 28th Street SE, and Saturday, he planned to be the guest of the Great Lakes Volvo Club at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, northeast of Kalamazoo.
